Perth-based human Atomsmasha draws on his 15+ years of experience as a musician/producer/serial tinkerer to squeeze dirty, funky beats out of old computers and sh*t. Accomplishing the bulk of his work with two gameboys and an OP-1 full of dope bars, he’s hitting up Tokyo for what is set to be his finest display of cultural appropriation to date.

Kenji’s dive into the world of graphic design started in 2003 with his development of websites for mobile phones. He learnt how to use a multitude of graphic design software such as Flash. As a side project to this, he started VJing where he appeared most predominantly at local chiptune events.

Jaelyn Nisperos, a.k.a. chibi-tech, is a former Bay Area Californian now working as a game music composer and sound designer in Japan. Stemming from her long-time experience with early home computers and video game consoles, she loves to push the technical limits of soundchips via insanely meticulous manipulation. Combined with her wide knowledge & appreciation of different musical genres and instrumentation, she enjoys creating raw yet detailed chiptunes with surprisingly realistic qualities… making basic waveforms simulate either acoustical instruments & percussion, famous electronic synthesizer patches, or even different ranges of vocals. All in the most convincing manner. chibi-tech is also a pure geek of many odd forms. Often it influences her music in the most hilarious of ways. Sometimes in the most shocking & absurd of ways, even! But ultimately she hopes that her music leaves a wonderful & unforgettable impression in every listener.
